Patient's question:
No.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for menstrual edema are due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body during the premenstrual period, which leads to sodium and water retention. To prevent this condition, it is important to focus on light meals. Because salty meals can increase sodium and water retention, they may worsen the severity of edema. Once edema occurs, diuretics can be taken orally to increase urine output, which can help reduce swelling.
